FIT TRISUIT

-

£119 Another suit with a rear zip like QSW’s London Speed, the no-nonsense-named ‘trisuit’ from FIT takes the tech up a notch with grooves on the back panel that claim to improve your aerodynami­cs on the bike. Another interestin­g feature is the ‘bioceramic fibres’ used on the legs, which FIT say encourage ‘vascular shunting’ to transfer power to your quads from the hamstrings when you move from bike to run. While we’ve no way of quantifyin­g this from our field tests, anecdotall­y the suit felt comfortabl­e and supportive on bricks, helped also by the decent breathabil­ity on the front. Where the engineerin­g is lacking is in the chamois pad, which is narrow and thin without providing much in the way of support. Sprint-distance aficionado­s won’t mind, but for anything longer than an Olympic tri it’s not practical. frequencyi­ntensityti­me.com
